While running around the neighborhood late Thursday afternoon, I stumbled across a pleasant discovery -- kids still play. Just when I thought today's generation was getting fat and lazy while glued to TVs, computers and video games, I came across many school-age kids playing sports in the streets. It was refreshing to see kids playing football, soccer and other games in the streets as I ran by. Maybe there's hope for the future after all.
Meanwhile half a world away, our American kids were playing hockey and defeating Kazakhstan 4-1 in the Winter Olympics at Torino. Five points if you can locate Kazakhstan on a map.
After the run I skipped the usual Thursday night yoga and helped good friends Nancy and Harvey celebrate their wedding at an informal party at P.T.'s Pub on East Sahara. Even former Hilton supervisor Paul Rompel showed up to take part in the fun.
